Quite an amazing experience. The staff were nice. The only concern I had was them taking the pictures for us. I was expecting lots of pictures, once I went online and downloaded the photos. I realize there were only four pictures for the entire group. It was quite a disappointment.

What To Expect

Quad biking might be a favored past time in many New Zealander childhoods, but this adrenaline filled extreme sport isn't just for the kids! On this 1 to 1.5 hour tour, you'll zoom over dirt tracks, through a river and up into the mountains. The tours are run by the local Columb family who've taken curious visitors on unique experiences in New Zealand on their famous quad biking tours since 1989. They have now become the world's largest Off Road Tour Company, and the tracks are set on 11,000 acres of privately owned land, so this adventure can't be experienced anywhere else!

Make fun when the staff nice but has been playing a small opportunity to enjoy the landscape more expensive
盡時 好玩 員工nice 但一直玩其實小機會欣賞景觀 價格較貴

Ji coach is very professional and very careful to teach us how to use the mountain bike and some attention to the matter, because it is a novice we chose a relatively simple mountain, the whole process is still very good, we play very fun!

Beautiful scenery along the way, really is to experience what is Bashan wading, 250cc mountain bike strong, and friends with the feeling of racing is really great! An hour of experience is really not enough, get off to choose a 1.5 hours of fun! Highly recommended!
沿途风光绝美，真的是体验到了什么是跋山涉水，250cc的山地车动力强劲，和朋友一起飙车的感觉实在太棒了！一个小时的体验真的是不够，下车要选个1.5小时的才过瘾！极力推荐！
